After spending much of the morning with family and friends, I finished off the day with a short streamer outing. I got some fish pissed off, watched fish chase, and strip set into a few small stockers. I have got a good feeling about this week though, and when I am not working on my biology lab report I will be on the water, either the ponds or the Salmon. Happy Easter everyone.
I like the fact you catch trout on sizable flies. Conventional wisdom on many of our streams says go small or go home. I am glad to see that you prove that is not always the case.

Conventional wisdom is often wrong in fishing... a very skilled guide friend of mine fishes a size 6 stimulator during olive hatches on the Farmington and out-fishes people using 26's.
DeleteThat stimulator will do it 9 out of 10 times.
DeleteI would opt for the stimulator even if the odds were lover! There's nothing quite as beautiful as watching a big wild fish come up and drown a huge dry fly.
DeleteYou made them mad and glad when released. The streamers did the job today. Happy Easter to you and thanks for the trip!!!
ReplyDeleteTie, fish write and photo on...
I could have done better with nymphs or dry flies but I would rather throw meat around and get aggressive strikes...
DeleteHappy Easter to you !!! I caught a couple on the Farmington Rver. Nice day to be out!
ReplyDeleteThanks,
DeleteGlad you got out!
